#27816: Install error: NSPortTimeoutException. connection timeout: did not receive reply. -------------------------------------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: cw10025@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: NSPortTimeoutException IFPKInstallElement | Port: -------------------------------------------------------+-------------------- Attempted to install [http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg] on Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Xcode-3.2.5 and a prior release of MacPorts (from Leopard, selfupdate wouldn't run). The install failed and left this in the install log: {{{ Dec 30 07:23:17 clozaril-2 Installer[20150]: IFPKInstallElement (1 packages) Dec 30 07:28:17 clozaril-2 Installer[20150]: An exception was thrown from the install queue while running IFPKInstallElement. NSPortTimeoutException. connection timeout: did not receive reply. Dec 30 07:28:17 clozaril-2 Installer[20150]: Install failed: The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. Dec 30 07:28:18 clozaril-2 Installer[20150]: IFDInstallController 5E20730 state = 7 }}} I took a guess that since X11 was a prerequisite, maybe it needed to be running while the install was running. I started X, then re-ran the installer, then it worked. I don't know if that proves the installer needs X11 running or if it was just a transient error. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27816> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
